Over the last 50 years, the recommended chest compression for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has become faster and deeper, but maintaining deep compressions may be difficult at higher rates. Our study aimed to determine whether adequate compression (chest compression at an appropriate depth and ...
of Health clinical trials network database, the optimal combination of chest compression rate was 107 compressions per minute and chest compression depth of 4.7 cm; this finding remained relatively consistent regardless of age, sex, presenting cardiac rhythm, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation adjunct use....
An adult computed tomography (CT) study reported that body-mass-index (BMI) could affect the adequacy of chest compression and that obesity was associated with the need for deeper compressions due to relatively larger internal chest cavity sizes.6 The findings may also be relevant in paediatrics,...

DolbyandDTSare lossy audio compressions which are often used for this purpose as they’re capable of reducing PCM audio file sizes by as much as 90%. Unfortunately, the way thatDolbyandDTSencode PCM channels into a bitstream for storage and then decode it back for playback is not perfect....
Chest compressionsChest compression depthChest compression forceRecent clinical studies reporting the high frequency of inadequate chest compression depth (<38 mm) during CPR, have prompted the question if adult human chest characteristics render it difficult to attain the recommended compression depth in ...
Introduction: Adherence to CPR guidelines for chest compressions depth (CCD) is poor. Compressors tend to converge on an individualized depth for each patient.Aim: Determine the factors affecting CCD in adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).Methods: Patient, event, and EMS characteristics ...
The SN may have value as a functional landmark for chest compression depth in adult CPR. Our findings combined with the simulated one-fourth chest compressions were more consistent with the depth between 50 and 60 mm recommended by the 2015 CPR guidelines....
